BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS "- Continued
In August 1992 , Alameda County initiated the preparation of a
Project Study Report (PSR) for safety improvements to Crow Canyon
Road, including the half-mile Contra Costa County portion. When
completed, this PSR can serve as the basis of the Measure C project
for Crow Canyon Road. Contra Costa County Public Works staff is
participating -in this study, which is expected to be completed in
early 1992. The estimated cost of the County's participation is
$8, 000 to $10, 000.
It is recommended that the Public Works Director be authorized to
prepare a cooperative agreement with CCTA to fund the County's
participation in the Crow Canyon Road PSR. Further, it is
,. , recommended that SWAT be asked to approve the allocation of up to.
$10, 000 of Measure C funds for this work. Currently SWAT has
$360, 600 available during the first seven years. These funds were
initially allocated to trails projects; however, two of the trail
projects were ranked too low to be included in the Strategic Plan
at this time.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Failure to authorize preparation of the Cooporative Agreement would
eliminate the possibility of reimbursing County costs with Measure
C revenues. County costs will need to be absorbed by County
revenues.
